A mature age recruit from the Hobart Football Club, Aaron was selected in the Pre-Season Draft by the Gold Coast in 2011 at 21 years of age. Explosive speed, ability to break the lines, and a lethal kick, Aaron established to the public that he had the tools to play at AFL level.

Making his debut for the Suns in Round 1 of 2012, Aaron was used as a small forward at the commencement of his AFL career before starting to break into the midfield after his first couple of years at the club. This is where Aaron could truly show his wares and be incredibly damaging against opposition teams.

Suffering a serious pectoral injury in the early parts of 2018, Aaron missed the remainder of the year in what was very disappointing way to finish this season. This also led to Aaron making the decision to finish his time at the Gold Coast and head to Victoria to be closer to his family and friends as he and his partner started their own family. North Melbourne successfully negotiated a trade and Aaron was rapt to join the Kangaroos ahead of the 2019 season. His first season at the Kangaroos didn’t go to plan however he made amends in 2020 during what was a trying year for the club, before a breakout season in 2021 where he was used as a rebounding defender and named in the All Australian squad.

After another change of coach during the 2022 Season, Aaron continued to play consistent footy during the year with only injury being the major interruption for him. Aaron played 5 games in 2023 after managing an Achilles issue across the year. At the end of the 2023 AFL season, Aaron announced his retirement from Football, after 12 seasons and 161 AFL games.

Recruited From: 2011 Pre-Season Draft, Pick 7 from Hobart (TFL).
